How To Add a Percent Change Goal

Depending on the opportunity settings, there may be a Performance Plan page. Funders may also include defined programmatic goals for applicants to meet through grant activities. If goals have been pre-defined, they will appear in the goal type dropdown.

Percent change goals are goals to track a percent increase or decrease. Percent change goals are defined with a starting percent and a desired percent. When tracking progress against a percent change goal, staff may capture Total Possible and Total Achieved percentages. An example of a percent change goal is “Decrease in Student Absences” with a starting absentee rate of 10%, and a goal absentee rate of 3%.

1. Click + Add Item.
2. In the pop-up window, select Percent Change from the Goal Type dropdown.
   
3. Add a goal Name.
4. Add the Desired Percentage in decimal format.
5. Add the Current Percentage in decimal format.
6. Add the goal Description (optional).
7. Click Save.
